DeKalb daycare center owner plans to fight to open

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - A DeKalb County business owner is vowing to fight the closure of her daycare.

The state ordered Julia Edmondson to close the New Jerusalem Christian Academy by Dec. 20.

"We have tried to follow every rule and regulation that has been given to us by the state," Edmondson said.

State officials cited the facility for failing to properly fill out transportation paperwork. Edmondson plans to petition the state and ask to reopen. She added that if approved she will not offer bus service.

In the meantime, she's worried about her staff and the 90 or so children they care for.
